ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- If you think Iditarod and Yukon Quest champ Lance Mackey is fast on the trail just wait until you see what's he's about to take to the streets.

"I have always wanted a nice car or a hot rod," he said. "This falls into that category."

Mackey says the unique and extraordinary sports car he's picked out fits perfectly with his unique and extraordinary mushing career.

Just as he did last year, Mackey won a big Dodge truck from Anchorage Chrysler Dodge for his Iditarod victory.

This time, he decided to trade it in for something sportier: a limited-edition Dodge Charger called the Super Bee.

He says owning a car like this is a dream come true.

"I am going to be proud to drive this car around," Mackey said. "People will recognize me in it just like they would if I was in a Dodge truck -- but maybe as a blur as I go by."

Mackey says he has never had a speeding ticket but won't comment on whether any may be in his future.

The Iditarod champion says it will never leave a paved road and will be stored in a heated garage.

Um . . . I guess I'm ever the practical one. I keep trying to picture it on snowy streets . . . Isn't it a rear wheel drive?

My thoughts, too, emwcee. I suspect that hot little car will spend more time in the heated garage than on the roads. But good for him. Everyone needs a hot little car in their lives at one time or another.

I had to giggle...........I dated a guy in high school (many many many years ago) who drove one of those. It was bright yellow and LOUD! You could hear him coming at least 2 miles away. I remember one night he kept driving by my house (pretty late at night-wasn't high school silly ) keeping my dad awake, so my dad jumped in his Cadilac -in his boxer shorts-with his shotgun and took off after him. Fortunately, SuperBee boy saw him coming and the Caddy never had a chance, but I was mortified for weeks!
